What is the difference between a Faculty advisor, Field Education Coordinator, a Faculty Liaison, and a Field Instructor?
Field Education Coordinator: This a field faculty member who works in the Office of Field Education. Once a student applies for a field placement, the Coordinator works with that student to find an appropriate agency. Field Liaison: The role of the Liaison is to maintain the educational integrity of the field placement, once it has begun. The Liaison reviews and assesses all learning contracts, process recordings, and performance evaluations; and, assigns the grade for the practicum. The Liaison also serves as a mediator and resource person for both the student and field instructor. Field Instructor: This is the staff person at the field placement agency who oversees the on-site educational experience and provides supervision for the student.
